VIDEO: 3rd Annual SimplyRides.com NY Auto Show Mixer

For those of you who were there, you already know: the 3rd Annual SimplyRides.com NY Auto Show Mixer was a smash!

This year, the event was sponsored by BMW and they displayed the 2014 BMW435i hardtop convertible at the venue. In fact, one of the attendees was so taken with the car that he purchased one that same week!

SékouWrites (author, journalist, former Uptown Magazine editor and founder of SimplyRides.com) hosted the event, which was co-sponsored by GypsyJaunt.com and TheGlamazonsBlog. A portion of the raffle proceeds were donated to From Girls to Pearls, a nonprofit organization based in L.A. that mentors young African-American women.

There was also a one-hour open bar courtesy of Cockspur Rum and Iceberg Vodka, music by the talented djFRITZo and take home goodies that included BMW thumb drives and hair care coupons from Diane Da Costa.
